Garry Tonon made his triumphant striking debut in March over at ONE FC. Following the bout he’s said this is the craziest feeling and how stoked he was.
Recently he guested on the MMA Hour and confirmed as much – he touched on a point Mackenzie Dern also made on the show
On how the post fight buzz is different:
“Interesting. Very different. I mean similar in a sense, of course I’m very excited after jiu jitsu matches but I’ve never been more pumped than this. Who knows. Maybe like after my first jiu jitsu match I felt the same “
On if he’s taking a break from jiu jitsu to focus on mma:
“I don’t want to say 100% yes to that because if an opportunity arose to have a match I thought made a lot of sense and was really good I would definitely consider doing it. I definitely think I want to get a few more fights in. On a serious schedule. Where I’m consistently training and improving before I like break focus and do something like that. I would take something small in between like I was going to. Obviously I’m not going to now because of the hand.
If I was feeling healthy in between fights I would consider it,”
And as for when we’ll see him fight again he predicted either late May or early June!
